I wonder if anyone who has both sims (or even if you just have one of them) would be willing to go up over an area I'm familiar with and take a few screenshots so I can see how the areas that I generally fly look in these sims. Both sims claim to have improved VFR scenery and both look very impressive, but all I've seen are popular "photomode" locations where they have understandably dumped a lot of development into to make eye candy to sell the sims. I want to see some of the "fly-over" country that I'm familiar with and see if anything is recognizable aside from road layouts. Specifically, could someone go up to about 2000' over south KFOE (Forbes Field/Topeka Regional, Topeka, KS) and take some screenshots looking to the northwest, west, and southwest? Maybe a couple of the airport itself as well, and maybe one looking north toward downtown Topeka. I know this area quite well and I'm curious if I can recognize anything from either sim beyond the roads, which have been more or less accurate since FSX or before. From what I've been told by others, MSFS might actually have the ability to generate somewhat accurate representations of random buildings, more-so than previous auto-gen stuff that usually didn't resemble reality in the slightest, beyond being a building (and even that sometimes doesn't jive). Just a request if anyone is bored and wants to help a fellow simmer decide which sim to invest into. I generally do VFR flying, so low-level scenery recognizability is key to my flying style. Currently in XP11, I have no choice but to use navaids or GPS along the way because most recognizable VFR features (broadcast towers, unique buildings, windfarms, oil fields, etc) don't exist in the sim, at least in my experience.
